AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Such volume changes can lead to fatigue cracking and bursting of electroactive materials
This can lead to loss of electrical contact between the silicon-containing electroactive material and the remainder of the battery cell, resulting in poor electrochemical cycling performance, reduced Coulombic charge capacity retention (capacity fade), and limited cycle life

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a silicon-carbon composite electrode material. The present disclosure provides methods of forming an electrode material for an electrochemical cell for cycling lithium ions. The method includes contacting a catalyst precursor with one or more electroactive materials to form a mixture. The catalyst precursor comprises one or more metal salts. The method may also include activating the catalyst precursor in the mixture to form an activated mixture comprising an activated catalyst; and / or contacting one or more carbonaceous materials with the activation mixture to form an electrode material. The electrode material includes one or more electroactive particles disposed within a carbonaceous structure that may be carbon-coated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to silicon-carbon composite electrode materials useful, for example, in negative electrodes of lithium-ion electrochemical cells and devices, and methods of making silicon-carbon composite electrode materials. Background technique [0002] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0003] The present disclosure relates to silicon-carbon composite electrode materials useful, for example, in negative electrodes of lithium-ion electrochemical cells and devices, and methods of forming related thereto.
